OpenHAB and Solarview

[michaeljoos]

Hi

I’m trying to implement data from solarview into openHAB. Until now with no success
In a terminal I can get the data with these two commands:

telnet 192.168.1.51 15000
00*

result:
{00,14,01,2016,20,36,0006.2,00076,000076,00012040,00000,000,000.0,000,000.0,000,000.0,000,000.0,00}

Now first question is how to connect and how to get the data. With TCP-Binding or EXEC? (2 commands)
And second question: How to parse/split the data? I only need the number marked as bold.

Thanks
Michael

I would probably write a script that I call from the Exec binding.

How to parse/split the data?

With a transform. You could use a REGEX transform with something like REGEX(\{\d\d\,\d\d\,\d\d\,\d\d\d\d\,\d\d\,\d\d\,(\d\d\d\d\.\d).*) Assumes that each number leading up to the one you care about is always the same number of digits.

Thanks. I just tried it with a shell script but for 00* I always get an “command not found”. How do I implement this command into a script? I’m really a beginner

Thanks

You will have to look into how to pass a command to telnet. I know you can with ssh so I would assume you can with telenet too but I don’t know how off hand. For the record, in ssh the command would be:

ssh user@host `command`
